Probably not an appropriate place to post this, considering the audience, and considering I've been MIA for a long while, but I thought I'd post something that seriously pissed me off this weekend. It seems somewhat appropriately timed.

A friend of mine from my rugby team (a prop, so a large 6' 260-280lb guy) was walking in Georgetown with his boyfriend, minding his own damn business when the two of them got jumped by two guys. They came up and kicked him from behind and managed to knock his boyfriend to the ground. Luckily, my friend is one of those people who considers a broken nose or cut to the head to be a good start to a game, so he was able to fight these two $ssholes off until a passerby yelled that they were calling the police, but they did hit him a couple times and kicked his boyfriend a number of times while he was on the ground.

So... nothing was said during the entire attack, no homophobic slurs, but at the same time nothing was taken and there was no obvious attempt to rob them. So whatever the actual motivation of the attack is, they're left with the fear that there are people out there trying to attack them simply because they're gay. That sh$t pisses me off.

What's the point of this post? There are a lot of idiots out there in this world, probably more than any of you could imagine. And every time I see or hear someone make one of those bullsh$t statements like "I don't agree with X, but if they do it behind closed doors" I think to myself that there is some idiot out there who (correctly) interprets that statement to be "I'm not going to personally do something about it, but I wish those people didn't exist" and decides to take it upon themselves to try to fix that for you.

Hey dude sorry to hear about that. At least your boyfriend was able to fend them off. If you bulked up a bit you might have been able to help him.

... the sport seems a little... gay. I'll be the first to admit that (but so does football)

But I think wheel is making a mistake of confusing "gay" with "not able to pound wheel into a small puddle on the ground".

Probably about 20-30% of the team is gay. And this is a sport where we've gotten at least 3 broken arms this season, countless broken noses and stitches... a couple concussions.

I was at a friends graduation party when a guy that stood up for me n my wedding showed up at about 2AM all excited. He was dressed as olivia newton-john from the last scene of grease and had just won miss waterloo at large. He is a kindergarten school teacher.

When he saw me he got all weirded out because he didn't think I knew. I had to explain to him that the shaved legs, shaved eyebrows etc. had given him away years ago. BFD. I'd welcome him to teach my children. I've never seen any teacher so committed to teaching. What do I care if he wears falsies.

That said... his dad ... an old firestone union guy was less accomidating when he borrowed his sons car, got a flat and found all his performance clothes etc in the trunk rather than a spare tire LOL

ahhh good times.

TW, they're physically ok, likely only because my teammate is a very aggressive individual. However, I have to assume that they've lost a sense of security. I have no idea what that's like.
